WHAT NOTs,
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.


because man has an inilamed nose
and countenance bunged up and de-
moralized, he is drunkard. He may
have called some one liar.
y new thing in dancing is reported;
it is called the poverty dance" Invi-
tations printed on strawboard and
enclosed in cheap yellow envelopes are
circulated. Tickets for the ball are
fortysix cents and supper nineteen
cents. No gentleman is allowed to
participate who has less than two
patches on his clothes and the ladies are
dressed in calico. Everybody dance.
1t is generally best to buy goods
from the man who advertises, for he
has always the newest and cheapest.
He don't allow his stock to lie around
on the shelves until it is old fashioned,
while he watches through his window to
see who goes i'll to buy from his more
energetic neighbor. lie sells quickly
and buys again. Read the fall an
nouncements Of our merchants in the
EXposIToR, and patrOnize live bust
ness men.
A new scheme for avoiding the new
tax law with reference to mortgages
has been brought to light. The party
having the money requires the borrow
er to deed him the property, and the
lender then gives the borrower con-
tract Of sale. endorsing on the contract
the amount of value of the property
over and above the amount loaned. BY
this means there is no mortgage taken
and the MORTGAGE is not taxed on his
mortgage.
\ good way to prevent your children
from Quarrelling over your possessions
after you have left them, is to give
them your money now, and the best
place to put it for safety, profit and
pleasure is into their heads. Give
them good, sound, practical education
and they will have valuable proper
ty, out of the reach of the sheriff or
the tax gatherer. But educate for
utility, and if your children want the
paint. putty and varnish of culture"
let that come after the frame work is
solidly built up.
Young man when you see Il young
lady who lies abed late in the morning:
who neverlets the sunindulge in famil-
iariities with her for fear 1t will injure
her compilations; who never washes dish
es or does other domestic work for fear
it will impair the softness of her hands;
whose only exercise is in belaboring the
keys of piano; when you see lady
with these characteristics whose cheeks
have the bloom of the rose, and lips
with the ripe, ruddy glow of health,
rememberfthc familiar legend of spring
cleaning, Look out for paint"
An exchange says: Western towns
which have boom on, appreciate the
power of the press. The people of
Tucson, Arizona, buy 5000 copies of
their local papers every month for the
purpose Of sending it abroad, and pay
500 month for special "write-ups."
The town of Lamar. Col, recently paid
the local paper ~ 800 for a "write-up"
and the citizens of Fort Scott. Kansas,
just spent $1,000 i'll advertising the
town. Hutchinson. Kansas, claims to
give its local paper bonus of $4,000
Il year for remaining alive and kicking,
while Newton, Kansas, pays its paper
81 900 year. There is nothing at all
improper in this rs the money is for
legitimate advertising. On the con-
trary, it is very creditable to the citi-
zens of these towns that they thus en-
courage their local paper and at the
same time benefit themselves.
